The Pakistan People's Party (PPP) has announced a protest movement against the controversial six canals project on the Indus River, calling it an illegal and unconstitutional initiative.
Senior PPP leader Nisar Khuhro stated that protests will be held across all district headquarters in Sindh on March 25 to oppose the project.
Speaking to the media, Khuhro accused the Punjab government of allocating a budget for the canals despite claims that no such projects were being developed. He reiterated PPP’s stance, saying the party would fight against these canals on all constitutional forums, in legislative houses, and on the streets.
PPP's stance on canal project
Khuhro specifically objected to the Cholistan Canal, arguing that it threatens Sindh’s water rights. He urged the people of Sindh to join the protests in large numbers, emphasizing that the PPP will go street by street and district by district to oppose these projects.
The PPP leader also took aim at political rivals, stating that while other parties criticize the PPP, they remain silent on projects that threaten Sindh’s water resources. He vowed that his party would use all available means to stop the construction of these canals.
